Prices
SOCA lists annual membership at GBP 25 for you and your family. It also says the first two visitor meetings are free, monthly meetings are free to attend as a member, and the 2026 dinghy sailing and BBQ event provides sailing boats and BBQ free while attendees bring their own food and drink. I did not find a full price list for courses, trips, boat hire, or regular sailing costs.
Membership
Official site welcomes new members, including beginners and experienced sailors, and says the first two visits to monthly meetings are free.
